We Officially Have A Webpage. If you were not on the original list, sorry, you don't get the free novella, but you can still preorder Wandering Lark from Yard Dog Press (and The Demon of Mallow will show up on Lulu in the middle of September). Just follow this link where you will also find lovely cover art.

And as I said below:

1) Yard Dog Press is the publisher.

2) I will be giving them your email addresses--they should have be contacted you about your $12.50 prepay.

3) The total cost of the book will be $16-$18 (former from the YDP website, latter from places like Amazon) when it comes out. You will be required to pay the rest of the amount and postage when the copies are ready to ship.

4) At this time, publication will be in time for Dragon*Con where I will be a guest writer. For those who don't pay attention to such things, that is the first weekend in September...

5) After talking to the boss and the assistant, we agreed it would be better if I go ahead and get the novella Demon of Mallow printed up and shipped to them, and when they ship the books, they will include the copies of DoM. That way you will have your bonus with your book.

6) Yard Dog Press has set up a prepay page (see above) so that those who did not get on the first 100 list but wish to preorder a copy will still be able to do so. Once the book is released, the preorder page will change to an order page.

7) The book will only be released in trade edition. YDP is not able to do HC at this time.

And Finally. Let me say THANK YOU to all those who asked to be added to the prepay list.

You really made this happen.

"Death and Need" is now available in MYSTIC SIGNALS #4. Order your copy from Wolf Singer Publications today!

STRIP MAULED edited by Esther Friesner from Baen Books is Now Available at all booksellers. You don't want to miss my story "That Time of the Month."

THE BOOKS OF TENTACLES is available from Sam's Dot Publishing, and includes my story "A Quiet Neighborhood."

Sam's Dot Publishing will also be using bits of my art in future projects, so stay tuned. And speaking of Sam's Dot, be sure to get a copy of my novella THE GREEN WOMEN from them. Support small press and small press authors!!!!

"Bella and the Flying Lugosi" is slated to appear in an unnamed vampire anthology, edited by the glorious Esther Friesner and forthcoming from Baen Books.

My novella The City Under The Bridge set in the world of the Harper Mage is now available from Wolfsinger Publications. You can purchase your copy through their online store on their Lulu webpage or by going to Amazon.com. If an electronic copy is your preference, the book is available as a MobiPocket download too.

Drooling Wizards is now online here on my website. The story first appeared in Helix: A Speculative Fiction Quarterly in January 2008. It's not a tale for the weak of stomach, however. Herein, you will find Expectorating Wizards and Village Idiots and a little town called Upper Drooling, and hopefuly a lot of laughs.

SRM now has copies of DRAGON'S TONGUE, Book 1 of "The Demon-Bound" available for sale on their online catalog. Please buy from them or order copies through independent booksellers instead of using Amazon. You'll be helping to support Victims of MM if you do. And the folks at SRM have loads of other stuff for sale.

THE LUNARI MASK is out! Just hop over to Yard Dog Press, go to This Link and buy yourself a heaping helping of a fantastical Double Dog Treat! My novella "The Lunari Mask" is paired with Melanie Fletcher's rousting swordplay adventure tale "Sabre Dance." That's DoubleDog #4. Needless to say, both authors are a'bouncing with glee! We have wonderful covers too.

Song of Silver is now available from Dark Regions Press. Matt Taggart did the cover art, and it is a signed, limited edition collection for Only $16.95! If you are a fan of the Harper Mage Anwyn Baldomyre and his saucy harp Glynnanis, then you will enjoy this collection. Nearly ALL the stories are new, including a novelette titled "Song of Snow" (illustrated on the cover). So go forth! Buy Many Copies! and Enjoy!

Copies of CHRONICLES OF THE LAST WAR are now available at Yard Dog Press. This is the book that tells how Conor and Eithne met, but it is also a tale of demon, darklings, Black Hunters and all sorts of baddies. There's fencing, there's fighting, and there's even a little true love. *g*

Oh, and if you want to sample David Deen's marvelous cover, click here

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE LINKS

I have promised I would do this, and I can't seem to get around to making a separate page so... The First Link is for Beliss. In case you are wondering who they are, they are my half sisters on the West Coast and boy are they wonderful (and beautiful) musicians. A warning, however, if you start drooling over their sultry pictures. Just remember. I'm their oldest sister, and I play with swords...

Debt is never fun, and I alway thought I could avoid it. Statistically a lot of Americans are in debt and are tired of being pestered by creditors and by collection agencies. I finally bit the bullet and sought help from the nice folk at American Liberty Financial. I know I sound like a commercial, but I am getting out of debt and on with my life, and these are the people who are helping me do it with dignity.

Selina Rosen and crew are a great bunch to work with. Selina is a great author as well as a kind and caring editor. So do me a favor, visit Yard Dog Press and Buy Our Books!

I don't know about you, but I am fascinated with this site. I think this and the NASA website are my two favorites. Mt. St. Helens is great to watch. And this is a good site for information about the volcano.

A brand new writer whose work you may wish to read is Madeline Howard. Her first novel, HIDDEN STARS is a wonderful fantasy set in a world of magic where forces of evil will keep you biting your nails wondering if they are going to win.

In recent years, I discovered Healing Touch. I have suffered for a long time from a damaged nerve in the back of my neck. The nerve was torn one day while picking up my little sister at the zoo so she could see the bears better. For years, I have sought assistance in dealing with the pain, and usually, heavy meds were needed when the nerve activated. But one day, a good friend told me that she practiced healing touch and asked me to let her try and see if she could stop my pain. It worked--so well that I now take regular sessions. So if you are curious about healing touch, visit the website of IN GOOD HANDS and see if Healing Touch can help you.

At long last, fellow writer Lisa Silverthorne has seen publication of her first book. This is a collection of Lisa's short fiction. The title is THE SOUND OF ANGELS and you can look at it by clicking on the link.

Lisa is a great writer, and I wish her well.

For now, if you have questions, you can e-mail me at "keltoraNOSTINKINGSPAMATsff.net." You will have to remove the middle message and add the the @ link yourself. Sorry, but I get too many crazy spams as it is.

You can also drop in at my newsgroup where I can be found from time to time, dispensing wisdom or just telling silly stories about the family cat Gato Bobo. (sff.people.keltora)

And be sure to visit my Harper Mage site at http://www.dm.net/~harpermage/

Enjoy.
Keep the torches burning... it makes the scarecrows REAL nervous!
 

MY STAND ON FANFIC

I know it's tempting to write in someone else's world, but it can cause copyright complications for an author as well. So please, no fanfic about Ard- Taebh or any of the characters I have created. Selfish as it may sound, I have to protect my copyright.

And remember, if you want to write fanfic about any author's work, you should ask permission FIRST. It's a matter of courtesy. And if the author turns you down, please be gracious enough to abide by the author's decision.

Besides, you should be writing your own stuff instead of writing other peoples stuff...

Thanks for listening.
